All aspects of the hotel were very good only spoilt by other loud guests in the restaurant using profanity and inappropriate language. We’ve stayed a number of times in the past and always had a good experience. Food is good and staff friendly.

The hotel was good value for money. The room was nicely furnished with a comfortable bed and the bathroom was clean. The tv in the room had Netflix which was a bonus. Although the evening meal menu was basic the breakfast was good. The staff were very friendly. The hotel is currently undergoing improvements so some of the facilities such as spa room were not available. Would stay here again.

The hotel is being refurbished but don't let that out you off. The rooms are spacious with decent bath and shower facilities. The staff are top notch, couldn't be any more friendly or helpful. Decent buffet breakfast too! Once the spa facilities are open again this would be my first pic everytime on a visit to Ipswich.

Average hotel stay

Staff were lovely, breakfast food was tasty and hot. Grounds were nice and well kept. Clean in main areas of hotel. Spa and pool areas out of use for refurbishing - wish hotels.com had that listed as I would’ve picked another hotel. In the room however…. Mattresses were rock hard, very uncomfortable as well as the ‘double’ being two singles put together. Cracks in the tiles on the floor in bathroom, no main bedroom light only wall sconces so room was quite dimly lit. Couldn’t use dressing table area so used bathroom instead as it was brighter. Bath tub is a short one so if you’re tall forget it as your legs will be up the wall! Overall score a 5 out of 10

Poor advert for Suffolk

we looked forward to our overnight stay at Best Western to meet up with an old friend, unfortunately it was a big let down. The room was reasonable but the bathroom had the bath panel hanging off and not sealed at all and a cobweb covered the air vent. I would like to think it was only our room but the same complaint was found in our friends room. Having stayed in Best Western hotels all over the world this has to be the worst we have seen. Full marks to the staff who tried there best with the limited number they had

Below average

Two staff trying to hold everything together, they were both lovely. Hotel was dirty, room was boiling hot with one tiny fan that did nothing. Mattress and pillows both lumpy and smelt odd. Had to dance around in the shower to get wet.
